New coverage presented by Al-Yam Al-Sabaa TV, regarding the full moon for the month of June, known as the “strawberry moon”, which will be at its fullest on Saturday, and will decorate the sky for three days.
The full moon appears during three days, the last of which is tomorrow, Sunday, and reaches its fullest on Saturday evening. The Native American tribes called the full moon for the month of June the name “strawberry moon,” in addition to “the moon of ripening berries in relation to the fruit harvest season.”
And the “strawberry moon” will be at its fullest following sunset on Saturday, when the full moon rises from the east, and it will be one of the closest full moons to the earth’s surface in the northern hemisphere during the current year, and this is because it occurs a few weeks before the start of the summer season set for June 21 of the year. 2023, while in the Southern Hemisphere, the Strawberry Moon will be one of the highest full moons of the year.
Roughly every 20 years, the Strawberry Moon coincides with the beginning of summer, when the sun is at its highest at noon.
The strawberry moon is the sixth full moon of the year and the last full moon of spring in the northern hemisphere, and the full moon will rise next to the red giant star “Scorpius Heart” in the sky within hours, and it is the brightest star of the constellation Scorpio at all, and the fifteenth star in terms of brightness in the entire sky .
Unfortunately, it won’t be a “strawberry moon” in red or pink, but if you want to see the moon in these colors, your best bet is to watch it when it’s bright in the sky and near the Earth’s surface, when the atmosphere scatters more of its blue light, making it more blue. It turns orange and red.
After the “strawberry moon”, the next full moon will be the “deer moon”, which will reach its full climax on Monday, 3rd of next July. The moon is 4.6 billion years old, and it was formed between 30 and 50 million years following the solar system. From Earth, it is regarding the size of Pluto.
Its surface area is less than the size of Asia, regarding 14.6 million square miles, and the gravity on the moon is only 1:6 of the gravity on Earth.
